		<title>Time to update this thing.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;ve been somewhat remiss at keeping on top of this blogging malarky, and the site as a whole is massively out of date.  I&#8217;m busy putting my RYM extension stuff on github and I&#8217;ll have a good bash at reworking this site into a nice home for my projects.  More to come&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>Ratebird status</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ratebird 0.51 is out; just a minor, and slightly dirty, update before I rewrite most of the core code.  It&#8217;s overdue a rewrite, as the extension is getting harder and harder to maintain without any kind of OO love.  After that, I&#8217;ll take a little time to port the RYMEnhancer section to Firefox (and potentially [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brewing update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dandelion and Apricot Wine &#8211; ended up more Apricoty than a very Apricoty thing.  I only have one bottle out of 6 left.  It was pretty good for a first attempt at wine-making. Mulberry Mead &#8211; just keeps getting better and better.  The Mulberry flavour has come out a lot, almost competing with the heather [...]]]></description>

		<title>You can’t beat a quick (silly) list.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t take too long to think about it. Fifteen albums you&#8217;ve heard that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag some friends, including me, because I&#8217;m interested in seeing what albums my friends choose.﻿﻿ Marilyn Manson &#8211; Antichrist Superstar Radiohead &#8211; OK Computer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ratebird 0.4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here&#8216;s some more Ratebird love. I finally have a progress pane, and writing metadata to files too. Unfortunately the latter isn&#8217;t compatible with Itunes or WMP ratings, which probably renders it useless for 90% of the people who are interested in such a feature, but there you go; hopefully POTI will take a look [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yet more Ratebird.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I released Ratebird 0.32 with the aforementioned überfix for the RYM site.  Took a bit of noodling to get it to happen, but it turned out simpler was better and we got there in the end.   Basically if you&#8217;re on an artist page when signed in to RYM, your ratings for that artist&#8217;s releases [...]]]></description>

		<title>New version of Ratebird</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally pushed the work I&#8217;ve been sporadically doing on Ratebird over the last three months or so up to a.s.c (Songbird deserves an acronym for their addons site too). Basically I wanted to properly sort out the preferences, and implement my greasemonkey script for RYM into the extension &#8211; which ended up being one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zend Certification</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I passed my Zend PHP5 Certification exam today, which has been a long time coming; work and life always managed to get in the way of studying for and, crucially, booking the exam itself. It was certainly more broad, less fiddly/fussy than the practice tests available on the Web, and thankfully with far fewer grammatical, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gigs of the year&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Forgot my favourite gigs of last year.  Just dragging them from Last.fm, so I may have missed some out: Ulver (Queen Elizabeth Hall, London) Agalloch (The Underworld, London) Gregor Samsa (Corporation, Sheffield) Faith No More (Brixton Academy, London) Burst/The Ocean (Corporation, Sheffield) Esoteric (Victoria Inn, Derby) This year&#8217;s list is highly likely to be topped [...]]]></description>
